Laurie, what flowers did you use instead?

I went totally out of season and upscale with a big cascade of white orchids with a tinge of purple, white carnations, baby's breath, and greenery - with bunches of green grapes tucked in. I did keep to my yellow and lavender theme, however, with my attendants in lavender with similar cascades of flowers in shades of lavender and yellow with purple grapes tucked in. My flower girl was in yellow with lavender smocking, and the groom and groomsmen wore lavender shirts. The four-tired cake was fantastic with golden sugar bells, white swans, clusters of lavender sugar grapes, and fresh flowers at the top surrounding a silver cross. If I knew how to scan photos, I'd send you some. Beautiful wedding - bad marriage.
